Comments Thread For: Showtime Head On Canelo's Return To The Network: 'It Elevated His Events Back To Where They Belonged'

[Sctrojan]

Espinoza is exactly right. Canelo definitely disappeared from the American sports fan radar when he went to the app only approach which just doesn’t work for the USA. If dayzin had a network option that would have been a different story. Showtime, FOX, and ESPN are much better options for the USA and reaching the American sports fan

Wrong. He became the sports biggest star while on "that" app did he not? He can garner a bigger audience on ESPN sure but throwing him on Sho/FOX PPV you're again limiting his "American" audience,no different than DAZN. Actually,you could say more so than DAZN.

"It elevated his events back to where they belong."

Stephen Espinoza said basically Canelo's mainstream Mexican fan base thought he had retired because he wasn't fighting on network television in the U.S. I just checked Canelo's #s on YouTube & 2 of the 5 highest viewed videos were Canelo's fights on Dazn (which include his FULL FIGHT vs Jacobs!)

"It was obviously important for Showtime."

That is what Stephen said in the article & what he really meant.

You’re arguing just to argue because you like dayzin. And no, Canelo was already the biggest star in boxing before dayzin, and fighting in front of an actual American audience puts him back where he belongs. Of course he could always go back to the obscure app to make British nationalists and other assorted populists happy.

If he's arguing just to argue, then you're praising just to praise. Canelo became a star on HBO, no amount of **** sucking Showtime or DAZN changes it, and it's ******ed to argue what network Canelo should fight on. It objectively does not matter as Canelo will draw a crowd regardless of what it is on. Also, you talk like you have a broomstick shoved up your @$$.

And I also block trolls. Too old to deal with young incels who search for male attention on the net

So from what am reading this dude thinks that mexicans don't know about apps that we ******... this mfr don't kown that basically univision, telemundo etc ... was reporting every fight that canelo had... this guy and his dumbass statement

[Oldskoolg]

Haha, this is not about accuracy, otherwise I’d be asking if Espinoza is or has been literally ‘jerking off to Canelo’, not that I’m that keen on the MF.

Also, I’m hardly bothered by the accuracy of PBC being ‘black owned’. My main concern is why one would bring it up at all.

You might think I’m being unduly antagonistic, but you managed to mention Top Rank and DAZN in the same post without stating that either are ‘white owned’. Unless I have it wrong and neither orgs are owned by white individuals..

Are you surprised? I mean really, are
you genuinely surprised?

It's unfortunate it's not US-based fighters that are elevating the sport. It takes a Mexican Canelo.
Another cool minimum $55 million guarantee for the Mexican superstar, plus a guaranteed win.

[wrecksracer]

when you get as rich as Canelo, and all of these platforms are offering him more or less the same amount of cash for a fight, I'm guessing you go to where you feel most comfortable. Or the platform that has a particular fighter you want. Visibility? Does it even matter to Canelo? Sure, it would make Showtime more visible.

[Nightfall]

Considering there are no draws in the Showtime/PBC roster, of course that sniveling little rat Espinoza is jerking himself off to Canelo right now.

Canelo doesn't need them though, he doesn't need to be involved with black owned PBC who has never given a fair shake to their Latino fighters. Canelo is a better fit with DAZN or he should try out Top Rank ESPN. He'd get great exposure on ESPN.

little wee wee racist maggot your jealous hating ass is mad because the PBC has all eyes on them. Alvared definitely needs the PBC platform. your ***** ass saw what happened to him at DAZNstrous and golden girl promotions. clenelo isn't dumb like your sorry ass. Charlo vs Alvared may 7th
